Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice is the only reminder to 

parties subject to the administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this review period. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Secretary’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred, and in the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results and this notice in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and

Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled CarbonQuality Steel Products From Brazil: 

Final Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On October 7, 2010, the 

Department of Commerce (Department) 

issued the preliminary results of 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on certain 

hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality 

steel products (HRS) from Brazil for the 

period January 1, 2008, through 

December 31, 2008. Based on the results 

of our verification and the analysis of 

the comments received, the Department 

has made certain revisions to the 

subsidy rates for the respondent, Usinas 

Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais 

(USIMINAS) and its subsidiary, 

Companhia Siderurgica Paulista 

(COSIPA). The final subsidy rate for the 

reviewed company is listed below in the 

section entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Review.’’ 

DATES: Effective Date: April 25, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Since the issuance of Certain HotRolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel 

Products From Brazil: Preliminary 

Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 64700 

(October 20, 2010) (Preliminary Results), 

the following events have occurred. The 

Department issued its third 

supplemental questionnaire to the 

Government of Brazil (GOB) and to 

USIMINAS/COSIPA on November 9, 

2010. On the same day, the Department 

informed parties of the postponement of 

the briefing schedule. The GOB and 

USIMINAS/COSIPA filed their 

responses on November 23, 2010, and 

December 3, 2010, respectively. On 

December 13, 2010, the United States 

Steel Corporation (USS or petitioner) 

submitted factual information in 

rebuttal to information contained in 

USIMINAS/COSIPA’s December 3, 2010 

questionnaire response. On January 6, 

2011, the Department issued a fourth 

supplemental questionnaire to 

USIMINAS/COSIPA and the company 

submitted its response on January 19, 

2011. On January 20, 2011, the 

Department placed on the record 

information from the investigation of 

cold-rolled steel and the prior 

administrative review of the instant 

order on HRS. See Memorandum to The 

File from Justin M. Neuman, Analyst, 

Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat 

Products from Brazil: Additional 

Programs Memorandum and Calculation 

Memorandum, Certain Hot-Rolled 

Carbon Steel Flat Products from Brazil, 

dated January 20, 2011. 

On December 14, 2010, the 

Department extended the deadline for 

the final results from February 17, 2011 

to April 18, 2011. See Certain HotRolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel 

Products From Brazil: Extension of Time 

Limit for Final Results of Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 

77828 (December 14, 2010). 

On January 21, 2011, USS submitted 

comments in light of the Department’s 

planned verification. In accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (‘‘the Act’’) the Department 

conducted verification in Brazil of the 

questionnaire responses of USIMINAS/ 

COSIPA from January 24 to January 27, 

2011, and of one program of the GOB on 

January 28, 2011. See Memorandum to 


jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Notices 22869 

1The Department rejected USIMINAS/COSIPA’s 

case brief received on March 16, 2011, because it 

contained untimely new factual information. See 

Letter to USIMINAS/COSIPA from the Department, 

Re: Countervailing Duty Administrative Review: 

Certain Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel 

Products from Brazil (March 17, 2011). 

Subsequently, the Department allowed USIMINAS/ 

COSIPA to resubmit its case brief without the 

untimely factual information, which it received on 

March 18, 2011.

Period of Review 

The period for which we are 

measuring subsidies, i.e., the period of 

review (POR), is January 1, 2008, 

through December 31, 2008. 

Scope of the Order 

For purposes of this review, the 

products covered are certain hot-rolled 

flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products 

of a rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 

inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor 

coated with metal and whether or not 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other non-metallic 

substances, in coils (whether or not in 

successively superimposed layers) 

regardless of thickness, and in straight 

lengths, of a thickness less than 4.75 

mm and of a width measuring at least 

10 times the thickness. Universal mill 

plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on 

four faces or in a closed box pass, of a 

width exceeding 150 mm, but not 

exceeding 1250 mm and of a thickness 

of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and 

without patterns in relief) of a thickness 

not less than 4.0 mm is not included 

within the scope of the order. 

Specifically included in the scope are 

vacuum degassed, fully stabilized 

(commonly referred to as interstitial-free 

(‘‘IF’’)) steels, high strength low alloy 

(‘‘HSLA’’) steels, and the substrate for 

motor lamination steels. IF steels are 

recognized as low carbon steels with 

micro-alloying levels of elements such 

as titanium and/or niobium added to 

stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. 

HSLA steels are recognized as steels 

with micro-alloying levels of elements 

such as chromium, copper, niobium, 

titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. 

The substrate for motor lamination 

steels contains micro-alloying levels of 

elements such as silicon and aluminum. 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of the order, regardless of HTSUS 

definitions, are products in which: (1) 

Iron predominates, by weight, over each 

of the other contained elements; (2) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 

weight; and (3) none of the elements 

listed below exceeds the quantity, by 

weight, respectively indicated: 1.80 

percent of manganese, or 1.50 percent of 

silicon, or 1.00 percent of copper, or 

0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 

percent of chromium, or 0.30 percent of 

cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 

percent of nickel, or 0.30 percent of 

tungsten, or 0.012 percent of boron, or 

0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 0.10 

percent of niobium, or 0.41 percent of 

titanium, or 0.15 percent of vanadium, 

or 0.15 percent of zirconium.

will instruct CBP to liquidate shipments 

of subject merchandise by USIMINAS/ 

COSIPA entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

January 1, 2008, through December 31, 

2008, without regard to countervailing 

duties. We will also instruct CBP to 

collect cash deposits for USIMINAS/ 

COSIPA at the rate of 0.00 percent on 

all shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. The cash deposit 

rates for all companies not covered by 

this review are not changed by the 

results of this review. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice serves as a reminder to
